Panorama Point Details

Dramatic views await at the aptly named Panorama Point: take your selfie stick photo here! Yes, there's a "trail" to Panorama Point, which is right off Highway 24, but really it should be consider simply a short stroll from the parking lot to the overlook. Sunsets are beautiful here, but for photographers anytime in the late afternoon also works well for great shots. Gooseneck Point, which also overlooks Sulphur Creek, is nearby.
